My Take
So far the students like the aspect that it is real coding vs. Blockly. We will dig deeper into the coding language next semester.
How I Use It
I use it as independent work during my sixth grade tech class. It allows students to advance at their own pace and be independent learners.

I love it. Students are engaged and Admin is impressed!

The first few levels take some getting used to, but after that, most students were able to get the hang of it. My kids who already loved coding went on to finish the course on their own, outside of class time.
